Dell ECT1250 Tower Desktop

The Dell ECT1250 is a new tower desktop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with 24 cores and 36 MB of L3 cache. It ships with 48 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory and a 1 TB PCIe NVMe M.2 solid-state drive. Windows 11 Home is pre-installed and the system includes a wired keyboard and mouse.

Suited for AI-accelerated workloads

Business users and educators who need the on-board NPU for local AI tasks will benefit from the Core Ultra 9 285 architecture. The single 1 TB drive and integrated Intel UHD Graphics leave no room for a second high-capacity SSD or a discrete graphics card without internal changes. Buyers who need more storage bays or a dedicated GPU should look at a different chassis.

24-core Core Ultra 9 285 with integrated NPU

The processor delivers 24 cores, a 2.5 GHz base frequency and up to 5.60 GHz turbo boost alongside Intel AI Boost for neural workloads. This CPU and NPU combination is the specification that decides whether the system matches the workload.

Questions about this item

What are the tower dimensions so I can check desk clearance?

The tower measures 12.76 inches tall, 6.06 inches wide and 11.53 inches deep, weighing 12.02 lb.

How do I add the DDR5 memory, and what mistake should I avoid?

Power off, unplug, open the side panel, align the notch on each DDR5 module with the slot key, press firmly until the latches click, then close the case; the common error is seating a module off-centre so the latches do not engage.

Which drive can I add later for more storage?

The board includes an M.2 PCIe slot that accepts NVMe SSDs; insert the drive at an angle, secure it with the screw, and reinstall the side panel.
